Do You Believe In Fate?

Do you believe in fate? It is something that I've been thinking about lately with the release of Possessed.

With Possessed, everything was centered around Alastor and his belief that Becca was his fate. Nothing, not even death, could convince him that she was not his destiny. 

Fate was a big theme running through the entire Spiritus Series and now that it is over, I'm not sure where I stand on the issue. Could it be possible that we all have a destiny and throughout our entire lives we are moving toward it?  

In my own life, I look at the many struggles and heartaches and I would like to think that it was all for something. I always say that everything happens for a reason, but do I really believe it?

If I'm really honest with myself, do I really think that there was a higher purpose to my spinal problems and surgery? What about the collapse of my first marriage? My father's diabetes and double amputations? What about his death from pancreatic cancer and then a year later my husband's death? Is it really meant to be that I was a widow at 36? That my daughter lost two important people in her life in a year?

Logically, my head tells me no, there wasn't a reason to any of it. There were just parts of my life that sucked and nothing more, but then my heart takes over and makes some really good points.....

1. Had my first marriage not collapsed (during my spinal problems), I would have been too terrified to ever live on my own after I was widowed.

2. If it wasn't for my spinal surgery, my first marriage wouldn't have collapsed and I wouldn't have gotten married the second time and I wouldn't have my beautiful daughter.

3. Had my father not taught me that physical limitations do not define the person, my own health problems would keep me depressed all of the time.

4. His death taught me that every single day is precious and to never take it for granted.

5. My husband's death showed me that I needed to eat better and stop smoking because I was all that my little girl had left.

Do I wish that these things hadn't happened? Of course, but I try to learn what I can from each of those tragedies. So I guess I do believe in fate
